WSB SPONSORS

Mushroom season is back – thanks to Machel Spence for sharing that photo of a Lepiota colony at Schmitz Park! Might be a great day to take a walk in a local park if you can … and/or check out one of these events from the WSB West Seattle Event Calendar:

BUSINESS ORGANIZATIONS SYMPOSIUM: Under way now until noon, first-ever event to help out local business organizations around the city, organized by City Council President Sally Clark; not happening in West Seattle, but local participants/sponsors include the West Seattle Chamber of Commerce and West Seattle Junction Association, and your editor here is a speaker on the media panel at 10:50 am. (City Hall, Bertha Knight Landes Room)

PARKing DAY: Worldwide, this is a day for temporary mini-parks to be set up, mostly in parking spaces, to show alternate uses of public areas. As noted here on Thursday, four parks are planned here in West Seattle, 9 am-3 pm, from The Admiral District to Westwood Village – see the map and info here.

WINE AND CHEESE TASTING: Metropolitan Market (WSB sponsor) in Admiral invites you to stop by 4-7 pm for a big event that’s part of the For the Love of Cheese: “We will be featuring artisan cheeses such as Mt. Townsend Seastack and Cirrus, Mifroma Gruyere, Le Chatelain Brie and Camembert, and Somerdale Shropshire, paired with our wine offerings.” (41st/42nd/Admiral)
